PEARL THUSI DEDICATES HER PROFILE PICTURE TO HER LATE FRIEND
Like many of us who are still grieving the slain rapper, Pearl Thusi seemingly still can’t believe AKA has passed on. Sharing her emotions with her Instagram followers, she dedicated a letter to the All Eyes On Me hitmaker as she changed her profile picture on Instagram to the late rapper’s Mass Country cover.
Penning her emotions online, Thusi wrote,
“I could have never imagined this. 💔
“I’m still trying to string sentences together to express how I feel. Is it better if I come home first? Is it better [if] I just pretend this didn’t happen? I don’t know.”
The TV presenter shared some of the lessons she was taught by the beloved deceased rapper. As she penned, she remembered a time her music lingo needed working on.
“Why was our love language dragging each other 😭😂. I remember when I didn’t understand the difference between albums, EPs, single releases etc. 🙈 lol.
“I said to you[that] I’ve bought all your albums, to which you said, “there’s only one, but thanks, baby girl!” 😂🙄…
“Anyway – over a decade later – and I’ve bought all your albums for real this time. 🤍🥹,” Thusi added.
